Engineering circular RNA for enhanced protein production
Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable and prevalent RNAs in eukaryotic cells that arise from back-splicing. Synthetic circRNAs and some endogenous circRNAs can encode proteins, raising the promise of circRNA as a platform for gene expression.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Glioblastoma is the most frequent and aggressive brain tumor, with a low survival rate. One of the challenges in treating glioblastoma is the resistance of cells to temozolomide, the main chemical agent used to treat the disease.

Enhancer‐derived RNAs: ‘spicing up’ transcription programs [PDF]
Nature 498, 511–515 doi:10.1038/nature12209; published online May022013 Nature 498, 516–520 doi:10.1038/nature12210; published online May022013 Recent reports established transcription of enhancer-derived RNAs (eRNAs), while the evidence for their functional significance remained mostly speculative.

Affinity-enhanced RNA-binding domains as tools to understand RNA recognition
Understanding how the RNA-binding domains of a protein regulator are used to recognize its RNA targets is a key problem in RNA biology, but RNA-binding domains with very low affinity do not perform well in the methods currently available to characterize protein-RNA interactions.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

The biological functions of extragenic enhancer RNAs and their impact on disease risk remain relatively underexplored. In this work, we develop in silico models of genetically regulated expression of enhancer RNAs across 49 cell and tissue types ...

Recruitment of Transcription Complexes to Enhancers and the Role of Enhancer Transcription
Enhancer elements regulate the tissue- and developmental-stage-specific expression of genes. Recent estimates suggest that there are more than 50,000 enhancers in mammalian cells. At least a subset of enhancers has been shown to recruit RNA polymerase II

An Exonic Splicing Enhancer within a Bidirectional Coding Sequence Regulates Alternative Splicing of an Antisense mRNA [PDF]
The discovery of increasing numbers of genes with overlapping sequences highlights the problem of expression in the context of constraining regulatory elements from more than one gene.

Genetic determinants of co-accessible chromatin regions in activated T cells across humans. [PDF]
Over 90% of genetic variants associated with complex human traits map to non-coding regions, but little is understood about how they modulate gene regulation in health and disease.
